About the Course

This intermediate-level course introduces the mathematical foundations to derive Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a fundamental
dimensionality reduction technique. We'll cover some basic statistics of data sets, such as mean values and variances, we'll compute distances
and angles between vectors using inner products and derive orthogonal projections of data onto lower-dimensional subspaces. Using all these
tools, we'll then derive PCA as a method that minimizes the average squared reconstruction error between data points and their
reconstruction. At the end of this course, you'll be familiar with important mathematical concepts and you can implement PC...
